X for Y is more for angel investor facing first hook where X is a (current) darling startup that angel investors are excited about. the form works because they are forced to invest by feel due to lack of information--and anchoring yourself to X creates a positive association. it is likely too constraining and inarticulate to be helpful with a real investor, and useless with customers for the same reason.
It's a weak first pass at an elevator pitch for something you do not understand (as the pitcher), and something you do not expect the pitchee to grok, etiher

IMHO it’s lazy, and lazy can’t be good.
Uber for dry cleaners.
Interesting. Uber managed to lose over $ 30 B —- how much do they plan to lose?
